Can the future be saved by returning a woman to affect the present?
Peter was a perfect gentleman. When he showed up at an all-woman's club unannounced, the defenses came up. Mari met him, surrounded by women like herself who battled criminal men daily. There was no longer any need for physical sex, the war between sexes had already been won.
Yet here was a white male in a three-piece suit asking for her help to save humankind.
This one man, who says he is from an alternate universe, wants to recruit a specific martial arts expert. With the idea of saving their future by altering our present. Two people taking the balance of future lives into their own hands.

Islandia: The Lost Colony (Sample) (Book One of the McKinnah Chronicles) CJ Klinger
Centuries pass, as human colonists descend into a rudimentary existence, resembling Earth’s dark ages. Their world of tiny islands, with no significant land mass, forces them to replicate the harsh times on Earth when sailors plied the seas in wooden sailboats.
Jonny Oarboy toils on a family clanboat, chancing upon a metal orb that contains the intelligence of an alien scout from an advanced race of galactic explorers, which Jonny keeps secret from outcast clans who intend to seize the orb and use its power for themselves.
At stake is the future of the Islandians. They have the opportunity to rise from their impoverished existences if only Jonny can harness the intelligence and rediscover the planet's original colonist landing site before it's too late.

Dusk of Humanity M.K. Dawn
A government summons with orders to attend a top-secret weekend retreat? Dr. Sloan Egan has no idea why her presence is required at the undisclosed location. She's a doctor, not a soldier. But under the threat of court-martial, it appears she has little say in the matter.
Major Lee Archer isn't one to question orders. But the decision to invite a group of intellects instead of government personnel to test the validity of The Bunker? The retreat sounds like nothing more than a waste of time.
Then the door of The Bunker is sealed, leaving those inside with no way out. The world they know, gone. Uninhabitable.
Or so they've been told.
Beyond The Bunker, a secret lies in wait. If it finds a way in, it could eradicate what's left of humanity.
And make no mistake, it always finds a way in.

A city in flames…
That’s what it looked like from where I was sitting.
From the rooftop, I could hear a man screaming in agony from somewhere below. Through all the ruckus, I wasn’t exactly sure where he was, but I knew that he would be dead soon. No one screamed like their flesh was being torn apart for this long and lived. At least that’s how things went in Forge, and I didn’t think this place was any different.

Glory on Mars Colonization Book 1 Kate Rauner
Something is terribly wrong on Mars. A strange illness threatens the first pioneers and tragic deaths may be no accident. With no way back to Earth, Emma and her friends struggle to survive on the deadly Red Planet.
Emma has doubts before leaving Earth, but her team is ready to launch and she can't back out. If the settlers already on Mars sound oddly hostile, perhaps that's from the shock of the colony's psychologist walking out an airlock to her death.
Experts on Earth have no answers for the threats they face. No more missions will be sent if the settlers fail to secure a foothold. Emma may have joined the last humans on Mars.
This is a long, 13 chapter preview. If you have trouble getting the digital file you want from Instafreebie, please contact me directly at katerauner@gmail.com

UPROAR Michael W. Huard
Young Brin lived on the streets; struggling to survive in the 31st Century. She simply did her job; prepping food for a clan of individual's clinging together in New York.
Though in truth, she liked to fight; she had a little rebel in her; some tomboy. By chance one day, she heard of a legendary Sisterhood of powerful strong-willed woman; those who were out to bring freedom back to the land. It would be so amazing to be part of something like that she thought; she had a dream and set out to find it.
Suddenly her life took a turn for craziness; kidnapped and nearly operated on by some odd altering, cybernetic project; everything now changed.
Brin had a purpose; she would never let another young girl suffer such an atrocity.
It was her chance to make a difference. This is her story!

Nothing like a thriller when the plan falls apart and the heroes have to wing it! Makes it all the harder for the reader to guess what is going to happen...

Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.

Anti Life Allen Kuzara
The opposite of life isn't death; it's something far worse.
In an anarcho-capitalist future, space-based corporate settlements have replaced the State. Colonel John Alvarez, a fifteen-year veteran, is unwilling to waste more years leading missions into deep space. He wants to start over and make a new life with his wife and son.
But when a distress message from a distant research probe is received, Novos Corp reactivates Alvarez's contract. He must carry out one last mission, a rescue attempt. Unknown to Alvarez, however, is the hidden threat that awaits him, one that—if he cannot stop it—will doom humanity to a fate worse than death.

I picked this up to write a blurb then couldn't put it down! Really good SF about a future where Statists and Corporations are at war. It has a detailed and interesting outer space setting, an original take on warp speed and likeable characters. Great stuff.

Great descriptions and an unexpected ending.
Sounds so good! Can’t wait to read this one!

The Hooman Probe by C. C. Brower Living Sensical
When Sue crash-lands back on Earth, she didn't know what to expect. What she found was a telepathic wolf pack, capable of reasoning and the dominant life form on the planet. They were in a fight for survival with the feral species of wolves, as well as the remnants of humankind.
In the first part of this, Sue learns to communicate and to travel with the pack as they fight and escape from the hunting ferals. In doing so, she fights alongside Tig, the hunting pack leader, to save both their lives.
What she wanted was to get back to the moon base to rescue her family. She didn't know how bad the collapse was.
But before she can get anywhere, she has to prove to the sentient wolf pack that she can be trusted. This means a "probe." Something no human has survived.
